Watch the Red Band Trailer for Seth MacFarlane’s Ted

Seth MacFarlane makes his directorial debut with Ted and Universal Pictures has just debuted the first trailer at Funny or Die. You can check it out in the player below as well as the newly-released poster and a trio of stills from the July 13th film.

This summer, the “Family Guy” creator brings his boundary-pushing brand of humor to the big screen for the first time as writer, director and voice star of Ted. In the live action/CG-animated comedy, he tells the story of John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg), a grown man who must deal with the cherished teddy bear who came to life as the result of a childhood wish and has refused to leave his side ever since.

You can also follow Ted himself on Twitter through the just-launched viral account, @whattedsaid.
